Chapter 169: Changes in Zhu Youzhen
Zhu Youzhen's willful words shocked Gao Jie, and even the Hakka couldn't help but look worried and looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Who knows, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse just smiled and said: "Youzhen is right! Brother, I play too hard, and I really don't do well enough! Governing a country is really not a simple and easy task, I really hope that you will study hard, grow up quickly, and then you will be able to help your brother!"
Zhu Youxiao's reaction made Gao Jie see the image of a brother who cares for his brother wholeheartedly like a parent, perhaps, brotherhood is more important in Zhu Youxiao's heart than Jiangshan!
After Zhu Youzhen said those words impulsively, he already regretted it a little, but now seeing that his brother didn't mean to blame, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he couldn't help sobbing: "Actually, I also know that the imperial brother has the difficulties of the imperial brother, I just can't listen to the people of the government and the opposition slandering and criticizing you behind your back, I'm in a hurry, I'm sorry!"
Zhu Youxiao said softly: "I understand your thoughts and thoughts, there is no need to apologize between brothers! My brother has not read any books, it is normal to be ridiculed and despised by those who read poetry and books, and I have also despised myself for this, but Xiaojie once said to me a few days ago that the most important thing for a person is not whether he has read a book or not, but whether he is willing to use his brain, whether he has always had good thoughts in his heart, and whether he is willing to seek well-being for the common people in the world! This sentence made my heart fluctuate and touched me a lot, and I have not rested well in the past few days. Believe me, by the inspection, my brother will do his best and be a good emperor!"
Zhu You listened, wiped away the tears on his face, and nodded thoughtfully.
Gao Jie also said at this time: "Xiao Jie has no ambitions, he does things and speaks spontaneously, and Your Majesty doesn't have to be too serious." In fact, what I want to see most now is that Your Majesty and You Zhen can be brothers and be happy forever!"
Ke glanced at Gao Jie gratefully, and echoed: "Xiao Jie is right, our greatest wish is to see you happy!"
After lunch, Gao Jie and Zhu Youzhen bid farewell to Emperor Tianqi and Mrs. Fengsheng and left the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Along the way, Zhu Youzhen was sullen and looked preoccupied, and Gao Jie couldn't help but touch his little head and smiled: "What are you thinking about in your little brain? Don't make it look like a little old man at a young age?"
Zhu Youzhen raised his head, looked at Gao Jie pitifully, and said, "Brother Jie, my brain is very confused now, I don't know what is right and what is wrong, and I don't know what I should do to help Brother Huang!"
Gao Jie glanced back at Wang Chengen, who was following from afar, and then said softly: "You are a smart child, there are many things in this world that are not right or wrong, the key depends on what position you stand on to look at it! The so-called true and false is something that you need to see clearly with your own heart." I only know one thing, the Holy One is sincere to you, and there is no falsehood!"
Zhu Youzhen frowned and said: "The imperial brother is good to me, I naturally know, but he doesn't concentrate on the government and politics, and I really can't get used to it when he tinkers with those craftsman work all day long!"
Gao Jie sighed and said, "I just said, true and false, right and wrong, you need to look at it with your heart." Maybe one day, you will find that the Holy One is not as idle as it seems, and it is not as unbearable as some scheming people say!"
Zhu Youzhen pondered for a while and said: "No! That's the truth, you don't have to defend him! Because there are villains and ministers around him, that's why he will be so discouraged!"
Gao Jie listened to this, and asked in a deep voice: "Who told you all this?!What villain, what minister, who are you referring to?"
Zhu Youzhen seemed to realize that he had missed his words, and waved his hand and said: "Okay, Brother Jie, although you are extraordinary, you don't know much about the affairs of the court, and you won't understand it if you say it! After two days, my mother's birthday will be celebrated, and then I will go out of the palace to pay homage to you together!" After speaking, he waved goodbye to Gao Jie at the gate of the palace and turned to leave.
Gao Jie watched Zhu Youzhen's small figure disappear into the palace in a daze, and his mood became heavier and heavier. Zhu Youzhen's inadvertently said "villain" and "minister", which made Gao Jie can't help but start worrying about Wei Zhongxian. Moreover, he can be sure that these things, at Zhu Youzhen's young age, could never have come up with them by himself, and there must be someone fanning the flames around him, and the spearhead is likely to be pointed at Wei Zhongxian!
Gao Jie really wanted to spend more time communicating with Zhu Youzhen, however, firstly, because Zhu Youzhen lived in the palace, it was not so easy to meet, and secondly, Gao Jie faintly felt that he didn't know if the twelve-year-old Zhu Youzhen was because he had entered adolescence and began to have some rebellious psychology or something, and he didn't seem to be able to listen to his own words as much as he used to.
"It seems that I am looking for an opportunity to inform Uncle Wei and make him more vigilant!" Gao Jie secretly made up his mind.
In the next few days, Gao Jie locked himself in his home, wholeheartedly helped Xiong Zhaoqi deform, and asked Ji Longfeng to go to Wei Liangqing's brothers and sisters, and asked them to pay attention to those people who were closer to Zhu Youzhen in Guozijian.
Emperor Tianqi himself didn't read much, but he always attached great importance to his younger brother Zhu Youzhen's learning, and wanted to hire a great Confucian as a teacher for him, but Zhu Youzhen refused. Zhu Youzhen explained that he would prefer to go to the Guozijian and study with those prisoners, so that he can not only study, but also may help the imperial brother find some future pillars of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, Zhu Youzhen also became a classmate of Wei Liangqing's brother and sister, but they didn't have much contact with each other.
After several days of special training, Xiong Zhaoqi can be said to have made rapid progress. His situation is quite similar to Li Hongji's uncle and nephew, and he has also practiced martial arts for more than ten years, but his entry into the country is not ideal because of psychological problems. These days, through Gao Jie's thorn points and the practice of the primary exercises of the White Lotus Nine Lives, Xiong Zhaoqi's martial arts foundation accumulated for more than ten years has been integrated and greatly improved, and more importantly, although his temperament is still a little cowardly, but in this cowardice, another tenacious and unyielding character has emerged, and this character is getting stronger and stronger day by day, and even some have come from behind, and have begun to become the main part of his personality.
As a sparring partner, the three of Ji Longfeng are now in a different situation. Because of the change in Xiong Zhaoqi's personality, he went from hiding when he saw Ji Longfeng and the three of them before, to now he has become a Xiaoqiang who can't fight to the death and is not afraid, and has reached the point where he takes the initiative to ask for "abuse" every day.
Moreover, he is now looking for an opponent, and he is only looking for Ji Longfeng. Because Wang Rui is a young master after all, he is not ruthless enough, so he feels that the strength is not enough; although Wukong abuses him very seriously, but this kid's kung fu has no fixed routine, it is completely based on his perverted physique and complete understanding of various forms of beasts, and the attack is imposing, punching and kicking, scratching and biting, there are all kinds of strange moves, and there is no way to parry, Xiong Zhaoqi feels that learning from him is not good for his martial arts improvement;
It's just that on the eighth day, Ji Longfeng, who is usually very keen on martial arts competitions, couldn't resist Xiong Zhaoqi's stalking, and saw that Xiong Zhaoqi either wanted to go to the thatched house under the pretext of having an uncomfortable stomach, or just slipped away and played peek-a-boo, which made Gao Jie amazed.
Later, Gao Jie had to go into battle in person and took on the task of abusing Xiong Zhaoqi in the last two days.
Ten days passed in a flash, and on this day, Gao Jie and the other five came to Luo's Mansion early in the morning as promised, and Luo Sigong and his son were waiting in the martial arts practice field in the courtyard.
Seeing Gao Jie coming, Luo Sigong stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "Xiaojie, have you brought enough silver?"
Gao Jie wondered, "What are you doing with the silver?"
Luo Sigong squinted his eyes and smiled: "Aren't you going to Liuquanju at noon?"
Gao Jie suddenly realized, and suddenly snorted: "Uncle Shi, are you so sure that I will lose?!" Tell you, this time Liuquanju is out of play, and it is estimated that your old man will have to spend his own money to set up an apprenticeship banquet!"
"Oh?!'s tone is quite big!" Luo Sigong listened to the music, pointed to the martial arts field and said: "It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip!"
"Yo-yo, yo-yo!" Gao Jie was confident, turned back to Xiong Zhaoqi and signaled: "Brother Zhaoqi, it's time for you to appear, I don't want you to be a mule, I don't want you to be a horse, but I look forward to you becoming a brave and tenacious bear!
I have to say that Gao Jie's motivating method from later generations has a wonderful effect, and Xiong Zhaoqi, who was still a little scared, was so excited by this sentence that he couldn't help but howl, and stood in the center of the martial arts field without hesitation.
Xiong Zhaoqi's decisive and arrogant appearance surprised Luo Sigong. In the past, letting Xiong Zhaoqi go to the martial arts arena was like letting him go to the execution ground, either crying and pretending to be pitiful, or begging for nothing, Luo Sigong had never seen him so quick as he was today. Glancing at his son Luo Yangxing, Luo Sigong couldn't help but have a trace of expectation for Xiong Zhaoqi's next performance.
Luo Yangxing walked into the field with his sleeves rolled, and said lightly to Xiong Zhaoqi: "Zhaoqi, you know me, act seriously, and never show mercy, if you are afraid, it is too late to go down now!"
Xiong Zhaoqi glanced at Gao Jie, and saw that Gao Jie was waving his fist vigorously at him, and suddenly his chest was hot, and he shouted loudly: "Brother Yangxing, come on!"
Seeing this, Luo Yangxing's eyes lit up, nodded slowly, and suddenly his body rushed forward, and at the same time, a straight fist smashed into Xiong Zhaoqi's chest.
This punch, like a gale, like a torrential rain, is extremely fast, the move is simple but powerful, and there is an unstoppable stance. Gao Jie saw it, although he knew that this punch Luo Yang only used one percent of his strength, but he was still worried about Xiong Zhaoqi. After all, in martial arts, Xiong Zhaoqi is like a baby facing a powerful adult, and Luo Yangxing's punch is enough for Xiong Zhaoqi to bear.
Seeing Luo Yangxing's fist getting bigger and bigger in his pupils, Xiong Zhaoqi's first subconscious thought was to turn around and run away, however, as soon as this thought of his came up, he was instantly suppressed by another thought, that thought was: "I want to become stronger! I want to be a big hero, a big hero! I must not run away, even if I die, I have to die standing up!"
Suddenly, Xiong Zhaoqi surged up with a fanatical and unyielding aura in his chest, he shouted, stood firm, and struck out with his right fist, and resisted hard against Luo Yangxing's fist.
